Aggression as a function of genetic relatedness in the sea anemone Actinia equina (Anthozoa: Actiniaria) (PDF)

ABSTRACT: The beadlet sea anemone Actinia equina (L.) shows a well-documented sequence of aggressive responses towards conspecific individuals. Aggression is also shown towards sea anemones of certain other species. A study was carried out to assess aggressive responses of A. equina to other anemones over a wide range of levels of genetic divergence from genetically […]
